Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive rootCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of encountering or meeting, as expressed by קָרָא (qara'), can be related to several Greek terms in the New Testament, though no direct one-to-one correspondence exists. Some related Greek terms include: Usage: The verb קָרָא (qara') is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the act of encountering or meeting someone or something, often unexpectedly. It can also refer to events or circumstances that befall a person. Context: The Hebrew verb קָרָא (qara') is a primitive root that appears in various contexts throughout the Old Testament. It is often used to describe encounters between individuals, such as meetings between people or divine encounters. For example, in Genesis 32:1, Jacob encounters angels of God: "Jacob also went on his way, and the angels of God met him." The term can also refer to events or situations that happen to someone, as seen in 1 Samuel 10:2, where Samuel tells Saul about events that will occur: "When you leave me today, you will meet two men near Rachel’s tomb at Zelzah on the border of Benjamin."
